The Percy Program

It is a fight to level the playing field to be able to compete for jobs and careers on the basis of skills and make available apprentice training to all. In 1973 Al Percy launched a class action lawsuit to give workers like him a chance to better their lot in life. It would also ensure the availability of skilled workers to build the infrastructure of the future.

Return to Work

Return to Work Program The philosophy for care is that injured workers should return to work as soon as practicable after receipt of appropriate care. To that end the case manager works with the employer and employee to identify alternate duties that the employee will be able to perform given any limitations imposed by the employee’s physical and functional limitations. When appropriate, the employee’s physician and the Group’s physicians work together in developing and identifying work duties commensurate therewith. If called for by the nature of the employee’s injuries, rehabilitation plans are designed to help the employee achieve a rapid and successful recovery. GY AND IMPLEMENTATION SUMMARY 46 | Page
